Title: Rube Goldberg competition and free icecream at CMU
Post by: Admin on January 25, 2010, 09:12:40 PM: Make a machine that makes you icecream - all parts supplied, all icecream free.

For anyone at CMU!

(see attached for more info)

update: date changed to Friday, April 2, due to Snowmageddon.

dont think of it as grease, think of it as an alternative topping. or use alot of topping to disgise the grease :D

Due to the current weather situation (aka Snowmageddon), the Rube Goldberg
Ice Cream Competition has been postponed until *Friday, April 2*. It was
originally scheduled for this Friday, February 12, but we are unable to get
all the supplies (including ice cream) in time for the event.

I've updated the first post to reflect this.
